about

First released in 2015 and finally added to Bandcamp 2020! Recorded at Manor Park Studio, Co.Antrim, Northern Ireland.

The message? Take nothing for granted. Based on a true story.

lyrics

Well, we took a walk down on Sandy Lane,
laughter on our lips, blood pumping through our veins,
with the smell of Ulster fields in summer,
for all these years you've been my lover and my friend

Well, to walk a couple of sunshine miles,
with a western girl with a killer smile, oh the pleasure's mine,
and we watched the planes flying overhead,
and wondered where we might decide to be instead

Chorus
But you've got to watch what you take for granted,
life's too fragile to understand it,
just a few days after Sandy Lane,
my girl went to a wedding, and never came home again

Well, I took a walk down on Sandy Lane,
to try and see if I could find that place again,
how you wore that dress, it always made me lose it,
it's a memory now and I still use it every day

Now I'm sick of sorrow, and I'm done with grieving,
almost a year has gone, I can't believe,
where tranquilty meets the motorway,
well I'll always check my rear view mirror anyway

Chorus

Cause you've got to watch what you take for granted,
life's too fragile to understand it,
just a few days after Sandy Lane,
my girl went to a wedding, and never came home again

Oh Lord no, my girl went to a wedding, and never came home again
